Fake sport farms

[Hispo]

If that is the case, then why were they going to use those platforms? Maybe there is something that can attract users to use the platforms and play the game, otherwise, they are just waiting for the money. However, manipulation is everywhere. The management can easily change the odds by knowing the number of bets. The clarity will be lesser in such a decisive time, so the OP's request is valid, do not use such kinds of platforms, they will steal what you have in your pockets.

In the case of 1xbet and 1xbit (and other shady casinos and bookies which used to be advertised here on the forum), many people fell for them because they offered attractive odds when compared to the average odds shown on other bookies with a higher reputation and volume.
I remember seeing people here on the forum grieving their lost money (which was frozen by the bookie itself) because they got attracted by those odds.

That is why one is never supposed to get carried away by odds alone and also check other characteristics proper of a good and trustworthy bookie.

Just my two sats on this matter, though.

Have you seen anything like this yourself, or noticed these organized matches? Personally, I have no intention to bet on these boring games.

I had no idea about these "sports farms", some wild sh!t!! I wonder who even bets on those ghost markets.. maybe it's just locals, 4am degens or people who think they have inside info. I think the mainstream betting world stays away from fake futsal matches played by teens in empty warehouses (or maybe there is really a market for it?!!). 1xBet builds them because it gives them 24/7 fake inventory, costs basically nothing to run and keeps bettors hooked when real sports are off. It’s completely shady and it's insane that big clubs still take their sponsorship money while this goes on in the background.

Lately, I came across a very interesting topic that many communities have started talking about, and I was totally blown out. It’s about sports farms, which got exposed from many sides, this is a large betting platform, mostly known in Russia and Africa: 1xBet(also known here to be a scam). Apparently, they use players with fake names and misleading information to create more games for betting.

The dangerous part is that these players are required to score an exact number of goals, miss penalties or do other random things just to make sure the platform keeps winning against the majority of bets.

It’s like whole organization, where even some people are getting paid without knowing what they actually involved in, while being streamed 24/7. The bigger issue here is that this platform is still sponsoring famous teams and events without facing any legal repercussions. Have you seen anything like this yourself, or noticed these organized matches? Personally, I have no intention to bet on these boring games.

While to me I have been playing casino for long I have not withiness this you are saying but to me my y advice is to report them to any authority you know because if you didn't do that they will succeed in running away with people money, now that you observe this on time , kindly and quickly go and inform the authority I don't think if they are licensed to do that , you should also leave that betting platform, use another platform to play now that you have withiness some foul play , you would have also drop the link so we can check for ourselves because this is a good information.

So you mean they created a new market that is completely made up just to beat the majority of bets? The question now is, who would bet on a random market like that? Bettors also naturally do their own research before placing their bets. How can they find information about it? If it's a market involving a match between public figures, it makes more sense to me. But if they created a completely made up market using fake names, I don't think they would do that because it's easy to get exposed and damage trust in the casino (even when they're already not trusted ).

I believe more in real matches being fixed than that. Competing parties need money, and bookies come to them with business offers. Because of this, I am also thinking that sportsbooks that have partnerships with sports teams may have their own agreements on fixing matches. Maybe not risky or significant match fixing, just minor things like over/under goals, corners, or anything else that doesn't affect the team's ranking in the competition.

1xbet and 1xbit are suspected for long and their are a known scam casinos already in this forum, I don't know why they are still very popular offline and haven't been banned in many region yet as scams, they run their casino like a pinzi scheme tempering with both game's outcome and player's accounts that are not violating their casino rules but winning some good amount from they game's.


Live sports events esport us one of the most fraudulent games play in Many casinos, I believe a good number of this casinos are guilty of that, we can read a few about the current cases of rigged bets, and abusive leadership board for their tournaments, Russia happen to be the first to make this bold move and hope other countries will start taking game's regulations and fairness in in house games seriously.

It's unfortunate that this 1xbet don't want to die, they keep doing everything they can to keep their scam operation going, are people blind or they don't do their own research? I guess there are people like that who falls in love with a betting platform once they see bet in its name, because tell me how anyone still trust and use this platform for betting after so many online backlashes for been a scam platfrom for gambling.

However, in my opinion the real reason for this issue is not people's blindness but the aggressive ways of marketing by these platforms. This takes place in such a way that it promotes through different pirated movie websites, Sponsor videos on social media, and some local influencers to the extent that an ordinary gambler does not bother thinking about reviews at all. Moreover, they offer many tempting bonuses and free bets that make people easily fall into their trap. And the people who used to gamble regularly have abandoned these scam sites already. The people who are using these sites now and falling victim to them are basically new users who don't have any experience of checking online gambling sites. So I think instead of blaming these people, it is better to raise awareness about them in our own surroundings.

Not from my own experience whilst gambling, no, but just yesterday I watched a programme about gambling where they were discussing this, which I found quite shocking. This can only be explained by the exponential growth of sports betting, which has hooked half a generation.

So you mean they created a new market that is completely made up just to beat the majority of bets? The question now is, who would bet on a random market like that? Bettors also naturally do their own research before placing their bets.

Many don’t do research; they simply place bets based on a hunch.

Can you provide a link to the source of information? Which sports are you talking about? Are you talking about African football?
I wouldn't be surprised, if football players with fake identities join African football teams and play in rigged matches.
What about some sports betting platforms adding lots of fake sports bettors just to boost their credibility. For example, a sports betting platform has only 100 active bettors per day, but the platform claims that it has more than 5000 active bettors per day. I haven't seen such cases, but I do think that some shady platforms have adopted "fake it, until you make it" tactics.

This strange bookmaker's advertising is widespread in Russia and beyond, in the CIS countries. I don't like betting, but I was surprised to see how aggressive and diverse their advertising is. Nowadays, casinos are trying to attract gamblers through shorts and other short videos. But they used to do things differently, and it was off-putting: they'd pay translators to translate pirated films for the internet and ask them to insert an icon at several points, including a loud reminder of the casino. This ruined the film's atmosphere and was bad for addicts, who were immediately triggered.

I'm not surprised they paid for fake matches. I've heard these rumors for a long time, and it's disgusting. You'd think: you're a major bookmaker, try to operate as honestly and openly as possible within the given conditions. Why would you even need to arrange fixed matches? But no, they decide they need to make money not from commissions, but also in this way. Of course, anyone who learns of this will have absolutely no desire to return to betting there.
And obviously, if they're so cowardly, this dishonest organization will never pay out huge winnings to players for bets. They'll find a hundred reasons to endlessly request documents and not verify them.

I think it always comes down to money, Casinos make money from fees, but when it comes to match fixing, we could be talking about completely different amounts. And I think the more money involved, the more likely people are to commit crimes. And these kinds of activities are definitely criminal offences. Although I suspect that influential people are involved, and holding them accountable is almost impossible.

[TheUltraElite]

I think I saw a video recently about people posting about wins obtained from that site but the url was similar but actually different which makes for the fake marketing but dishonest of course.

There are always these type of bad actors in the crypto space who will run with dishonest methods but this one is particularly resistant to calling out because they are finding out methods to bribe others in order to continue their marketing.

People have to be resistant to marketing and then only such sites can be curbed.

I became very interested in this topic and learned something: just think about it: 1,300 mini-football matches were played in September. That's a figure that's likely to be reached in 2024. The guys at bellingcat discovered this when they began investigating the platform's strange activities. These mini-football matches are filmed in anonymous gyms and sports schools in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, and underage players are paid small sums, a few dozen dollars. They might be told, "Don't score more than five goals." Which is essentially manipulation. Despite all this, 1xBet continued to sponsor major clubs like Barcelona. What shady dealings they're up to...

[bakasabo]

Who do you think are victims of those fake sport farms? By fake action they want to rip off money from casino? Or they goal is to fake game result to make bettor lose his bet? It makes me wonder why, as it was mentioned in first post, goal is to "to create more games for betting" ? Are there not enough events to pick from to place a bet, that casinos sponsor sport events, among which fake sport take place?

I think this is quite possible, because it’s in the bookmakers interest for players to have a variety of options. I recall a time when I was desperate to win back my losses, I didn’t really care what I bet on, it only happened once, but I’ll never forget it. I suspect that many players follow a similar pattern when trying to recover their losses. Perhaps bookmakers know that, at a certain point, a player will look for the very next available game to bet everything on in an attempt to win back what they’ve lost though, admittedly, this is just my own theory, I can’t explain it any other way.

When I open live betting in sportbook, it always offer 50-100 sport events to bet, and there are hundreds of events to bet for future. I think there are always a decent football game running live and a huge variety to bet on a reputed team or league. That is why I am curious who would be interested in betting on an unknown team or athlete that compete in some local or unknown league. I believe there are always enough events to bet, instead of betting on low level events.

I used to see celebrities and influencers advertised this 1xbet, they tell followers to use their promo code and he 100% on their deposit. I don't know the kind of affiliation they made with this company and I don't even know how they grew very big in Nigeria and he don't check this scams. I'm very disappointed that many Nigerian influencers don't check this red flags. They just jump into any promotion they see and as long as it's given them what they want, they don't care about the outcome.

This is just one of the scape goat, there are many more casino that are faking the things the do, they only manipulate things and show people what they want to see, this is what they do until they are finally caught one day.

[Elainebue]

the fake sports farm stuff is pretty concerning. if players are being pushed to influence specific outcomes, that's a whole different level of risk compared to regular sports betting. makes it hard to trust any of those matches.

In my opinion, 1xBet's popularity is mainly due to the huge amounts of money they spend on advertising and sponsorships.   Although I wouldn't say that absolutely all of them knowingly promote scam projects.

But I think there's another problem here. Even a large number of negative reviews doesn't always give us an accurate picture of how trustworthy a bookmaker really is, since some complaints may be related to players breaking the rules themselves. That's why it's much more important to pay attention to confirmed cases of unpaid withdrawals, unjustified account bans, and changes to the terms after a deposit has been made.

This is not the case with only 1xbet, but mostly Russian bookies if I’m right. There was a time that I saw some was complaining on twitter then that he placed bet on a 22bet account and won all the predictions, after the bookies credited him they froze the funds and started another investigation because the won amount was much. They later came up with a story that the odds the user bet on was not correct and because of that the bet will be reversed and settle as void and that was how his balance was credited with only the amount he staked on that bet and all the millions disappeared.
Since then I never believed or trust this Russian bookies.

[alani123]

The OP is misreading the situation..

1xBet is streaming live matches from severely minor leagues or lesser known countries.
They made a deal with these leagues to offer them some cash and provide infrastructure in exchange for rights to the livestream and then they give free access to everyone to watch completely for free.

This is unprecedented attention for these minor leagues that earn very little money because oftentimes they're very amateur and there are no sponsors or real money in the game.

So players with no or very low salaries may be tempted to fix their matches in exchange for earning through the betting markets that are created.

Nobody saydn1xbet is directly involved in fixing these matches. Only indirectly providing an incentive to do so by opening up gsmbling markets for them.
